Introduction
Thank you for choosing Boston Acoustics. The Boston VS Series Loudspeakers – our best-performing, best-looking products – deliver
a superb audio/video or audio-only experience. Innovative driver and cabinet designs yield exceptional sonic characteristics. Each
VS Series model is voiced to blend with the others so they can be combined to deliver the best performance in any configuration.
Adding to the sonic appeal of the VS Series is their visual appeal. The striking piano lacquer finish and high-gloss furniture-grade
end panels cover cabinets that are so much more than rectangular boxes. The structural elements of the cabinets are made of
high-frequency-molded MDF which feature curved surfaces that reduce internal standing waves and panel resonances. Substantial
internal braces enhance the strength of the cabinets to provide an ideal environment for the high performance drivers.
